A report drawn up for the licensing committee, said: “GMP have stated in their application that they believe the premises licence holder, who is also the designated premises supervisor, is not only failing in her responsibilities around the licence conditions, but is seriously failing to promote the licensing objectives of prevention of crime and disorder and public safety.

“Licence holders have a duty to do all that is reasonably possible in reducing and preventing crime and disorder and protecting public safety.

“Police have also stated that these objectives are far from being met by the premises licence holder and also say that a number of the premises licence conditions are not being adhered to.”

Wigan Council has said that the license could be re-instated if action is taken promptly.

Julie Middlehurst, Wigan Council’s service manager for regulatory services, said: “We can confirm that the licence has been surrendered by the current licence holder. If we should receive a transfer application within 28 days, the licence could be re-instated.
